This walk will test your lungs and legs but will reward you with some spectacular views, a lovely lakeside stroll and more than a few chances to walk some of the staircases in this hilly Seattle neighborhood.

A two-hour amble here will take you through the land where the worlds of Chief Sealth and his Suquamish Tribe met the group that has become known as the Denny Party, after the white settlers landed at what would become Alki.
